 THINGS AS THEY AIN'T. Ten minutes after the last Ron had rung. I rushed madly up the steps of I . H. S. and dashed into the cloakroom. hen I decided that as long as I was ten minutes late I would look into the mirror to sec if 1 was presentable. I found Miss Oldham at the mirror fixing up. so I asked her for her powder puff and lipstick. Mire, she said. Go ahead and use them. Here, wait a minute and I’ll darken your eyebrows with this cvebrow pencil.' “Thanks awfully. I said, going out the door. Then I went upstairs to my Latin class Miss Hartley met me at the door and said: I beg your pardon for beginning class before you came, but'they were st» eager to get to work that I couldn't re- strain them. I told her not to let it hap] en again, and then I took my seat. George,” said Miss Hartley, will you write this trans- lation on the board? Well. Miss Hartley. I would like to awfully well, but I sprained mv foot on the gym floor last night, and I am afraid I might hurt it if I were to go to the board. That is perfectly all right. George, and I am very sorry „ about your foot. It isn’t very important the translation. I mean.” When I told Miss Hartley I didn't have my lesson be- cause I had gone to a party the night before, she said she was glad that I cou’d get social as well as mental develop- ment.

As the classes were changing Mr. Colebank stopped one of the boys in the ball and asked him for a match, as he wished to smoke, lie asked the boys whv they weren’t smoking, and advised them to do so. ”In geometry we learned one new proposition, and Mr. Kahn said. I am afraid you people have been thinking too I a-d in learning this theorem and so you may do anvthing you like as recreation.” Most of the boys went outside and played ball, and we girls sat on the steps of the boys’ entrance. Miss Oldham cal ed from out the window, and said that we might go down on the campus if we wanted to. So we borrowed a little wagon from a little boy. and pulled each other around on the campus. Finally the bell rang and I decided I would go to Vergil class with some of the girls. Miss Xecl was all dolled up in French heeled pumps, a stylish narrow skirt, a thin georgette waist, and her hair looked perfectly stunning arranged in puffs over her ears. We didn’t have a very good time because Miss Xeel insisted that wc learn a new dance step. The victrola was in her
